  1. Other than the co-pilot looking like she's praying and crossing herself, that pilot knows her shit.

    2. I use Firefox, and I just tried it on Opera, so this should work. Hold the Ctrl key and run the scrollwheel on your mouse forward, and the video should enlarge. You may have to shift it a bit up or down to get it centered, but you can fill your screen. Make sure it's playing at 720p or 1080p, and watch it in full-screen without going to YouTube.

  4. At 1m35 the co-pilot is making the motions for a Buddhist prayer.

    1. She's Buddhist. It's normal for a Buddhists to pray when passing a monastery. At that point in the video they pass two monasteries on the mountain tops on either side of the plane that would be clearly visible to her. Directly ahead of them in the valley there are another four monasteries.

  6. Impressive job. I haven't flown an aircraft in many, many years. But she obviously knew how to navigate through the mountains to this airfield.

  7. @ azlibertarian - Very interesting. We need to be careful who we trust our lives with.

  8. like threading a needle. if that's a camera above the pilot's head, it's too wobbly to get useful video
